Sr. Fullstack Software Engineer, Test Experience

At Vanta, our mission is to help businesses earn and prove trust. We believe that security should be monitored and verified continuously, and we empower companies to practice better security and prove it with ease. Vanta has a kind and talented team, and while some have prior security experience, many have been successful at Vanta without it.

Our Senior Software Engineers deliver high-value products for our customers, and infrastructure that enables our business to scale.

Vanta’s team and technology surface are growing quickly, and it’s essential that we invest in the right abstractions and systems to enable us to scale with our business. As a Software Engineer, you’ll be responsible for setting technical direction to enable our product and infrastructure to scale with our business, and driving complex projects across our technical stack. Your past experience will be leveraged to enable and accelerate Vanta’s growth.

Our business has found incredible product-market fit and has monetized effectively since the day we signed our first customer. We’re growing at a blistering pace, which presents career-defining opportunities for engineers to accelerate their growth and to contribute to a rapidly-scaling company.

As a software engineer on the Test Experience team, you’ll help shape the future of Automated Tests - one of our platform’s most impactful and heavily-used features. Vanta Tests enable customers to continuously track their compliance and security posture, save valuable time managing GRC programs, and generate critical audit evidence effortlessly. You’ll operate at the intersection of platform infrastructure and user experience. Exciting and ambitious opportunities include:

• Building our next generation of Automated Tests

• Enhancing the customization and visibility of our monitoring features across inputs, logic, and results

• Integrating cutting edge LLM tools and AI agents into the full Tests lifecycle - from creation to remediation

• Scaling infrastructure to match Vanta’s rapidly growing customer base (the Tests product is the most used feature in our platform!)

About Vanta

We started in 2018, in the wake of several high-profile data breaches. Online security was only becoming more important, but we knew firsthand how hard it could be for fast-growing companies to invest the time and manpower it takes to build a solid security foundation. Vanta was inspired by a vision to restore trust in internet businesses by enabling companies to improve and prove their security. From our early days automating security monitoring for compliance standards like SOC 2, HIPAA and ISO 27001 to creating the world's leading Trust Management Platform, our vision remains unchanged.

Now more than ever, making security continuous—not just a point-in-time check— is essential. Thousands of companies rely on Vanta to build, maintain and demonstrate their trust— all in a way that's real-time and transparent.
